Everything We Need is Here
Being present to this unique moment is one of the great spiritual challenges of all times. Together, we’ll explore how we might stay present in these turbulent times, and how our presence might change us and the world.
Join us for worship at 9:30 or 11:15 a.m. this Sunday, Dec. 4. Rev. Jen Crow is preaching, and this Sunday is a Sharing Sunday – children ages 4 years to 5th grade attend the first part of the service.

December Worship Theme: Presence
Sufi teacher and scholar, Kabir Helminski, writes “Presence signifies the quality of consciously being here. It is the activation of a higher level of awareness that allows all our other human functions–such as thought, feeling, and action–to be known, developed and harmonized.” Presence is named as awakening, mindfulness, dhyana, or remembrance in other religious traditions. Some might be surprised to discover that repentance, derived from the Greek, metanoia, means to enter the big mind/presence. Common to all the great spiritual traditions is a spiritual philosophy of presence. In this season of advent, of waiting and listening, we will explore and experience Presence, the intersecting places of sense and spirit.
